I think the best take in AGI is Edsger Dijkstra's:

    “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”

I've read this multiple times and disagree.

If I had an AGI that designs me a safe, small and cheap fusion reactor, of course I would be interested in that.

My intelligence is intrinsically limited by my biology. The only way to really scale it up is to wire stuff into my brain, and I'd prefer an AGI over that every day.

Well said!
